“No one told Josh what is going on between Alice and me?” Daniel’s face was icy.
William made a face. “That rascal couldn’t keep a secret and enjoy gossiping. Our grandparents said to
keep it from him first. What shall we do now? He doesn’t know anything about you and Alice. What if
something happens between them?”
Daniel still managed to keep a calm mask on. “Alice said she has control over herself.”
William tapped his fingers on the desk. “Alice might be self-disciplined, but do you think Josh is? You’ve
forgotten what a philanderer he is? Our uncle nearly broke his legs because of it!
“What if they fell in love in the midst of acting? Are you going to give them your good wishes? Most
importantly, would your children accept that you have lost such a good wife?”
It was at this point that Daniel decided he had heard enough. He picked up the phone and spoke coldly
into it. “Ray, tell Josh’s director to cancel all the intimate scenes in the show!”
William raised his brows. “Tsk, you do indeed love Alice, Daniel!”
Daniel would not have bothered calling Ray on Josh’s behalf if he did not.

husband and wife,” William advised.
“The longer this ruse drags on, the worse it will be with Alice. There’s an increasing probability that she
does not forgive you!”
“She has yet to pass my test!” Alice’s performance up till now was not enough to allay his suspicions.
He would not tell her the truth before he trusted her wholeheartedly.
If she passed, he would confess the truth to her. Furthermore, he would give her the honor of being his
wife and protect her from everything.
When Josh heard that the kissing scene was canceled, he had trouble accepting the news.
“Is it you?” Josh grabbed Alice by her arm. “Did you go to Daniel because you don’t want to shoot the
scene with me?”
Alice was equally stunned. “Oh, please! I don’t even know who he is! Don’t put the blame on me!”
“Why did Daniel bar me from shooting intimate scenes? It is why I took on the role!” Josh’s face was
downfallen.
In reality, Josh wanted to take the opportunity of shooting a kissing scene with Alice to show his
parents how serious he was about her. He had hidden his real intention from Alice. It was not because
he wanted to take advantage of her during the scene.
If he was successful, the influential members of his family might be able to protect Alice secretly in the
industry. After all, Alice had no one by her side when others were bullying her.
It was just too bad that his cousin put a halt to all of the intimate scenes.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. It was just as well that those scenes were cut. I didn’t like them much anyway. They
were out of my comfort zone,” Alice soothed him.
Josh and she were more like siblings. Even though Josh appeared like a fool most of the time, he was
very protective of her.
It was the reason why she was willing to shoot the kissing scenes with him in the first place.
“Alice! Let’s not work today. Let’s go play!” Josh thought of something and leaped up abruptly. He
began dragging Alice toward the exit.
“Please, Josh! I haven’t changed out of my acting wardrobe yet. Why don’t you explain it to the
director?”
“Explain what? There are no more kissing scenes. They would have to edit the script. We are resting

Josh did not wait for her to speak. He dragged her into his vehicle and told the chauffeur to drive them
to his apartment, where he had elaborate gaming equipment.
Alice noticed he had already taken out his phone and was rounding up his friends. “At least let me grab
my phone, Josh!”
What would happen if the children tried to contact her, but she did not have her phone with her?
“I’ve already sent a message to Candice. She will take it to you.” Josh began chuckling devilishly. “You
must help me beat those rascals, or I won’t let you leave!”
Alice was speechless.
